Ah, hopefully this caught your eye.
I found this very interesting and I hope you will as well.
Ms. Janice Jones, who oversees model home design for a major home builder offers the following insights regarding use of color in your home. For the entire article, please find it in the Indianapolis Star Home Finder supplement Sunday, October 23, 2011. They site NAPSA.
Find pops of color in accessories such as throw pillows, coffee-table books canisters, etc. Different colors have different effects. This is my favorite tidbit.
Red: This color is stimulating and encourages self-confidence.
Orange: Promotes happiness and celebration. I read another color-related piece which stated that orange in the bedroom stimulates intimacy; just saying. I cannot site this.
Yellow: This color is uplifting and light-hearted. Hint: If you are selling in the winter, use this color as the house will show light, bright and warm in a dark gloomy winter day. Please trust me on this.
Blue: Blue is calming in softer tones. Avoid navy or midnight blue as it will make your space seem smaller, although according to Ms. Jones, it promotes clarity in deeper ones. (Confusing)
Green: You may know this, but this is the color of nature. It feels fresh and rejuvenating. A caveat, do not use avocado. It is dated and like the yummy fruit, it turns quickly.
Aqua: Like the water on a still lake, this color is restful while pink in gentle and sweet. They make a great pair.
Purple: This color may bring out a sense of compassion. Another thing to think about here is if you use too much, it a sense of sorrow will be an unexpected consequence, though it looks good on a crown.
Call me. Let's talk.
